Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Blueberry Muffins

As a baked-goods maniac / addict / connoisseur, finding out about my serious aversion to gluten, initially, was like watching my glorious, flour-filled life end in a violent, fiery explosion.

Dramatic.

I have yet to be tested for Celiac Disease ( though, based on my symptoms, my allergist seems to think I have it ), so I currently call my aversion to gluten an “intolerance.” Basically, it gives me pounding, daily migraines & lots of stomach issues. Gluten also makes me sluggish & very inflamed/swollen ( especially in my face… not pretty ).

I didn’t choose to go gluten-free for any other reason than I feel like absolute shit when I eat it. It’s not about being skinny, or trendy, or LA as fuck.

Over-all, my body isn’t the biggest fan of gluten, so I avoid it.

I’ve been known to enjoy a pastry or two in my day, so cutting out gluten cold-turkey seemed absolutely impossible & incredibly depressing.

Of course, I soon found out that, especially living in Los Angeles, there are so many gluten-free substitutes for regular flour & so many sweets that don’t contain gluten ( like macaroons! they’re always gluten-free because they’re made with almond flour ).

Also, I’ve gotten used to baking & cooking for myself when I want to indulge in something sweet or extra-fattening, because, though there are gluten-free options out there, the yum-level of those options isn’t consistently delicious. When I indulge, I want to make sure it’s glorious.

Taking matters into my own hands at home has been KEY.

BTW – one of my favorite cookbooks for GF meals at home is Gluten is My Bitch. It has recipes like fried chicken & waffles, lasagna cupcakes, and chive & cheese grits. The author, April Peveteaux, is also HILARIOUS. All of you GF girls NEED to get this book if you’re looking to get fancy in the kitchen ( & if you need a good LOL ).

So, let’s talk about these gluten-free, dairy-free blueberry muffins. I’ll admit upfront that I ate all of these muffins the day that I made them.

How-To

Preheat over to 325 degrees, and grease a muffin tin.
